I got totally bored with the remake / re-edits thing a while back. I taker Ian's point about them not being done for the soul scene, but at the end of the day modern DJs oon the soul scene should be looking for something new and fresh to play....otherwise it's just yet another retro scene of ageing hippies and Mons and Dads.

A good list so far, but it's not over yet....... and I guess you just can predict I'll come in with a Scepter cover. Bobby Boyd & The Playboys "Higher & higher" at the beginning of 1969. White R&B cover by the guy that became a country artist.

"Time ain't gonna do me no favours" then the Hill Sisters - great stuff!

Does that include mine Dave?

Does anyone have a copy of this book(s) please? I don't want to buy it but have an enquiry. PM please. Ta.

Dutch? For the Polynesians then. I know about the US market....but thanks for the reminder on the reason records were made

Who bootlegged it and for what market?

Suspicious Can Openers - what a fantastic name!

Peterborough Soul Club 1982....my first Niter "residency" as a northern DJ

yes John quite widely reported at the time. She was actually struck coming out of the Theatre post show so that report is not quite right. She had to go to hospital with cuts and bruises after being hit by one of the "silent killers". She was soon back in action though and only missed one or two dates on her tour which took in everywhere from east Ham and Eastbourne to Tunbridge Wells and of course Glasgow.....

50762 and 50763 according to my master list. Perhaps there are two versions?

So the five digit numbers should be the same, as that was Scepters numbering system for their masters. You sure you not looking at their other record? They did two sessions for them two Wand singles....

I hope everyone has checked out your Greenville Ms.soul page - some excellent research there Kris!

Still not finding Candy & Kisses and Diane and Anita EP's - oh well.....

Oh, another song from the talents that were Ken Williams- J R Bailey and Rudy Clark......

Perhaps a few of us should start asking questions again like we did once before "is this the 1st issue Grapevine label?", "Will you supply a centre with the record as my turntable doesn't have one", "Is that a vinyl Carver or some other form of re-press - please clarify" etc. etc. Could be some good "sport" to be had.

Love Stormy Weather another £3 Domar special.....

I wouldn't refund them. Crooks plain and simple.

It's a good thing Peter it's a top weekender.....

It's one of the reasons I don't do too many "local soul nights"/////All the DJs had names like "Budge", "Fudge", "Mudge and "Studge" and I couldn't tell one from the other

Another one is thanking the dj who'se been on before you and getting their name wrong

Strewth he wasn't that bad with me.....but I did get an "endorsement" as being "OK" Problem was his store although full, wasn't exactly the treasure trove that he thought it was. I think I got massive credit too for turning down "Would you like a copy of Frederick Hymes III?" (from his supply under the counter). Best thing I got out of there was a "Perfect love" (Diplomats) acetate for $300, and a few nice about right priced sweet soul bits. But there was also an awful lot of what I'd call "WALOP" (Worth a lot on paper) that no one will ever buy, and some dodgy re-presses too. The best thing he did was tell me about a group appearing at an off-strip Hotel that i would have never of otherwise known about, turns out one of them was in the Natural 4!

Not related as far as I know. Nick did grow up in Michigan but as "the yank" says he wasn't born there. Arthur Ashford member of The Precisions? Don't believe he was related to either......

Ha ha Richard well spotted! I wasn't far out was I? "Soussan instrumental" v "Felice Taylor instrumental", "Soul Bowl £5" v "Soul Bowl £6".....etc...I am still going with a NY Jamaican booty

TNJ's. They had a 45 on that label that's pretty good.
